Prison Break Star Says ‘It Hurt To Breathe’ After Seeing This Fat-Shaming Meme Of Him, Stuns Fans With Response

ADVERTISEMENT

Most of us have heard about the iconic TV show Prison Break by now, an incredibly addictive series that revolves around two brothers trying to escape from prison. Back in 2005, when the show started, everyone fell in love with the main character Michael Scofield. The famous actor behind this incredibly smart and brave protagonist is Wentworth Miller, a talented artist that managed to perfectly portray Michael’s unique character.

But one thing stood out the most, and that was Wentworth Miller’s incredibly beautiful physique. Everyone praised his features, and he was often spoken about as the ‘sexiest man alive.’

However, back in 2016 a new meme appeared on the Internet that showed two pictures of Miller side by side, revealing a definite change in his body shape. What made the comparison even worse was the comment next to it that said: “When you break out of prison and find out about McDonald’s Monopoly…”

After the image went viral, Wentworth Miller decided that he was not having it. The actor went on his Facebook page to declare his opinion on what was clearly fat-shaming, also stating that everyone should think twice before they judge others. In his heartfelt message, Wentworth revealed that when the picture was taken he was living with depression, and even having suicidal thoughts. He explained that food became the only thing he was looking forward to in his day. Now, Miller’s text is seen as not only portraying his strength, but is also a motivational message to everyone who suffers from similar mental health issues.

Scroll down to see Miller’s inspirational response to internet bullies, and tell us what you think in the comments!

"Fit to flab?" More like "Fit to FAB." Dude's looking pretty great, and mind you, that's coming from a lesbian!

Either way, he still looks great. Better be food than drugs, wise choice.

Agreed. He still looks better than most average guys. Heck he could probably gain 50 lbs and still look good.
